[ALonelyParrot]

Name: Gavroche Marmalage
Alias: “The Royal Picker”
Age: 11
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Class:
Mid-Level Rogue and Courier (Non-combatative)
Low-Level Entertainer
Low-Level Housekeeper
Low-Level Gardener

Appearance

Like any grubby, little street urchin, Gavroche “Scamp” Marmalage wears baggy overalls and a loose cotton shirt. On his head, he wears a flat cap that’s a little bit too large for him. Just like his father, he has deep emerald eyes that makes him a little bit more distinct from your usual urchin (hence the oversized cap). His hair would be a lustrous golden if not for the fact that he’s completely dirty, head to toe and his entire clothing.

Sarcastic

Sarcastic - Like mother like son. One thing he doesn’t love is criticizing the royalty and their inability to protect their people. He also loves to rant about the dragons for making the town a worse off place.
Wit - He has prose to go along with his sarcasm, lovely. This wit also gets him out of trouble in both conversation and the alleys.
Caring - To his mother and to his friends, he is very protective and caring. However, he hardly shows it in speech, instead showing his compassion through action. On occasion, he’s known to help out his fellow citizens despite sometimes stealing from them.
Temper - He can get a little bit riled up when talking to a person of authority who does nothing to help his community. If he had a chance to talk with the king or one of the dragons, he probably wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to give them a piece of his mind.

Motivations

His mother - Although it seems he pickpockets for fun, the real reason he steals is to support his mother, Marina. Because of her sickly deposition, he’s been scratching his earnings, legitimate or not, in order to get a doctor looked after her.
His friends - Being one of the few unorphaned urchins, he does his best to support them as best as possible. He only wants the best for his group, especially the ones that have been orphaned.

History

As a very young child, Gavroche’s father died due to a shipwreck at sea. As a result, both he and his mother had to scrape a living by themselves, stealing for Gavroche and tailoring/seamstressing for Marina.
Around the town, he’s gotten a mixed reputation with the residents. He steals from foreigners, trading or not. He often steals from visiting royalty, garning him the nickname “the Royal Picker” for his many and often successful attempts. On occasion, he is known to help out the community, on occasion.

Equipment

Coins and pebbles - You never know when you need good chucking materials to get away.
A throwing dagger - He staches this in a very special place. He’s been asking forever for one of the Gold Teeth members to teach him.

Weaknesses

Small - Both a blessing and a curse. He might be able to slip through a small hole to run away, but if you catch him, he’s caught. Even a woman of reasonable constitution is able to pin him down.
Combat - For the life of him, literally, he cannot fight back. All he can do squirm around, kick, punch, poke eyes, thrash around to get away. Boxing his ears is the best way to disarm him.
Temper - If one of his friends gets attacked, he goes absolutely ballistic. He can’t do much, though, because of his small size.
Taste for Mischief and Eavesdropping - What can be expected of an urchin? However, this taste can sometimes lead Gavroche into things a lot larger than himself...

Relationships

Marina Marmalage (Mother) - On the outside, the relationship seems rather shaky and bickering. However, on the inside, it’s rock solid.
His mother would always argue with him about stealing. The altercations were constant. Eventually, they made a deal. Under no circumstances Gavroche was not to attend any of the “friendly gatherings” or larger heists of the Gold Teeth.
Whenever something is stolen from Marina, Gavroche does as much as he can to get it back.
He understands how much his mother worries about him, and he’s not resentful for it at all.
Gold Teeth - He has a slightly more business-like relationship with the Gold Teeth but a friendly one to say the least.
On commission, he does courier and pickpocketing work for the Gold Teeth. He does, however, refuse any request made on any of the locals. He doesn’t attend their friendly gatherings (due to the agreement and a few sore ears).
On occasion, he does ask the Gold Teeth to help out his mother. Despite their dislike for his mother, they do help him because he’s such a regular helper.
The Urchins - Although he’s not exactly the leader, he is considered a “team dad” to the group. Without too much complaining, he usually complies with groups shenanigans. Whenever he requests something, however, the small group of seven will usually comply with his requests.

Character Goals

Get his mother a doctor and hopefully some medicine!
Become a rogue like one of the thieves at the Gold Teeth
Steal a single coin from one of the dragons and then return it without their knowing. If possible, have the dragons know someone stole the coin and then return it without their knowing. And if by the slightest chance, steal a coin and keep it as a secret trophy without the dragons knowing.

Goals you would like for Pigeon Spit: A place where he and his friends can have an easier time living (and at the very least, create more business for the picking).

Trivia

He does go to the temple with his mother on the days of rest. He usually dislikes it for various reasons but is appreciative of their help for his Mother.
He never targets any of the locals unless his mother or urchin group is in need.
He’s visited the Gold Teeth hideout and knows all the hidden passages that even the Gold Teeth don’t know about. This goes for a great many other houses as well, but keeps these a secret to everyone except his urchin friends.
He does make it clear not to steal anything lest any of their hiding spots mysteriously “disappear” after the burglary.
He heard from his mother that his father did have a knack for swords...

[Ctenoid Soul]

Name: Bork Valding
Age: 45 or so
Gender: Male
Species: Dwarf
Class: Primary: Engineer/gadgeteer type mid-level. Specializes in heavy, large machines and devices.
Secondaries: Low level fighter (Preferred weapon: spear with or without shield, also some grappling and dagger)
Low level alchemist: Assayance, mineralogy, some basic herbalism for making those chelating teas you give people with metal poisoning.

Appearance: Well, he looks like a dwarf. His beard and hair are prematurely grey, making him look older than he is. Unlike many of his kin, he keeps them cropped short. He is missing the tip of his right ring finger, and his right middle finger is smashed-looking and has no nail. He refuses to talk about how that happened. He is usually dressed in his work clothes, including a miner’s helmet, work gloves, a leather apron, and a tool belt.

Do they dress for other rolls? Bork has some nice dress clothes for meetings with “management”, but he only wears them when necessary.

Personality:

Point – blunt and honest to a fault
Point – conscientious and hard-working
Point – private about personal affairs
Point – visionary but practical. Put foundations under those sky castles and such.
Point – Almost as smart as he thinks he is.
Point - Ambitious


Motivation:
Loves problem solving. Wants to make big and new things happen and make a decent living doing it. He believes (incorrectly) that his estranged wife will reconcile with him if he becomes successful enough.

History:
Bork has made a name for himself as a mining engineer in his home town. He has also made a name for himself as a first-class jerk. He has come to Pigeon Spit because he got tired of working with idiots, and also because his home life had become unbearable (see Relationships). He has convinced himself that Pigeon Spit has much untapped economic potential, and has decided that the community simply needs a non-idiot to take charge and show ‘em how it’s done. Bork, naturally, has himself in mind as said non-idiot. Nosy people won’t find out much more about him because a) He’s pretty much unapproachable when it comes to his private life, and b) he doesn’t really have much of a private life.

Equipment:

Heavy work clothes including a leather apron, work gloves and boots, a mining helmet, and goggles.
Rock hammer, pick axe, and other mining stuff. Lantern and oil. Some carpentry tools as well. His work gives him access to rope and other things he might need.
A gambeson. A boar spear. A battered round shield. A dagger. (not usually carried)
Dress clothes for business meetings with idiots.
Small library of books on work-related subjects.

Weakness:

Married to work - this is a problem because he has an (estranged) wife. Bork just isn’t relationship material
Asocial and tactless - Need a smooth-talker to get you out of a sticky situation? Or to soften hard feelings? Well, you’re screwed. Read a room? Nope.
Incorrigible, stubborn know-it-all. Not only is this off-putting (see above) but also a hindrance to rethinking anything once Bork decides he’s got stuff figured out.
Partial hearing loss in one ear. One of many things he’s in furious denial about. Roll over, Beethoven.
Prone to seasickness. A problem considering the setting’s coastal.
Can’t swim. Ditto.
Uncultured. Bork is literate and knows his practical disciplines left and right. However, he doesn't do poetry or romances or stuff. Or music. If a book has lots of dry text about mechanics or mineralogy and confusing illustrations of assaying ovens or lifting cranes, Bork has probably read it. If it doesn’t, he probably hasn’t.
Mean drunk. Doesn't get drunk very often. But when he does: hooo, boy!

Relationships:
Roswith, estranged wife, left back at home. She resents the amount of time and attention Bork puts into his work and feels emotionally neglected. Bork has misread her discontent and thinks she’ll reconcile with him once he’s successful. His pursuit of success has, of course, only made things worse between them.
Rorik Fellforest (LN Dwarven Fighter/Cleric)- Mining captain, go-to source for any stone that needs to be quarried in Pigeon Spit. So far he and Bork get along simply because they have interests and goals in common. Whether their personalities remain compatible is yet to be seen.
Nelthurin Sebheon (aka "Nelf the Elf") (N Rogue) - Harbormaster. Interested in what's good for Pigeon Spit, but has some unconventional ideas of where legal authority fits into that. Is happy to work with pirates and smugglers if it means bringing wealth and goods into town. He and Bork are ambivalent about one another, but are currently willing to set aside differences to develop the harbor.

Character goal: Become successful and wealthy in his business. Reconcile with his wife.

Goals you would like for Pigeon Spit: Bigger and better-run mines (by himself, of course). Bigger and better run-port facilities (ditto).
